How to Make a Movie in 10 Easy Lessons
Robert Blofield
- Reading
- Read a lesson at a time and, if the reader wants, pair it with a small film-making experiment using a camera or phone.
- Themes
- Filmmaking as a step-by-step craft: The book moves from story and script planning through filming and editing, introducing techniques such as lighting, camera angles and moving shots. It presents filmmaking as a process with distinct stages and practical skills, rather than focusing only on the finished film.
- Worth knowing
- The practical focus may suit a reader keen to make a film; consider whether they would enjoy trying creative and technical tasks rather than only reading about movies.
